Complete question:
A geneticist crossed fruit flies to determine the phenotypic ratio. The geneticist crossed a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles (bbss) with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles (BbSs). Which proportion of offspring that are dominant for both traits in would you not expect based on Mendel's law of independent assortment? 1/2 , 4/16, 25% , or 1/4
Answer:
1/2 is the proportion of the offspring that is NOT expected among individuals that are dominant for both traits.
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny and the correct expected proportion of individuals that are dominant for both traits.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- Cross: a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles
- Recessive trait: blistery wings and spineless bristles
- Dominant trait: normal wings and normal bristles
Let us say that:
- B is the dominant allele for normal wings
- b is the recessive allele for blistery wings
- S is the dominant allele for normal bristles
- s is the recessive allele for spineless bristles
Parentals) bbss x BbSs
Gametes) bs, bs, bs, bs BS, Bs, bS, bs
Punnett square) BS Bs bS bs
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss
F1) 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be BbSs, dyhibrid individuals, expressing normal wings and normal bristles
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Bbss, expressing normal wings and spineless bristles
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbSs, expressing blistery wings and normal bristles
4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbss, expressing blistery wings and spineless bristles
Explanation:
1.The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days. The Moon spends the extra 2.2 days "catching up" because Earth travels about 45 million miles around the Sun during the time the Moon completes one orbit around Earth.
2.
An eclipse is the result of the total or partial masking of a celestial body by another along an observer's line of sight. Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.Lunar and solar eclipses occur with about equal frequency. Lunar eclipses are more widely visible because Earth casts a much larger shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse than the Moon casts on Earth during a solar eclipse. As a result, you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.
3.Why Do We have Seasons?
As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth's axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth's axis points away, winter can be expected. Since the tilt of the axis is 23 1/2 degrees, the North Pole never points directly at the Sun, but on the summer solstice it points as close as it can, and on the winter solstice as far as it can.
Why Do the Seasons Change on Earth?
Two things cause the seasons to change. First, the Earth moves around the Sun. Second, the Earth has a tilted axis of rotation.
The Earth spins around an axis. This imaginary line extends from the South Pole to the North Pole. But the Earth’s axis is not vertical. It’s actually tilted at an angle of 23.5°. The planet is always tilted in the same direction as it orbits the Sun.
Answer:
C) reductionism
Explanation:
The approach of reductionism is applied to decipher the basic concepts that rule some complex life processes. In this approach, the complex life processes can be interpreted by explaining the physical and chemical structure of involved components and their interactions. DNA molecules store genetic information. Inheritance means the transfer of genetic traits from one generation to the next. Therefore, the chemical structure of DNA is the application of reductionism to understand the chemical basis of inheritance.
